Chapter 4

(New book uploaded, urgently seeking collections and all kinds of support!)

——————————"You can sit down, and while you're at it, bring me those things."

Xiao Yi raised his teacup and said indifferently.

"Sure, please wait a moment, Mr. Xiao."

Chen Jianguo respectfully replied, then quickly turned and walked briskly to his desk. He opened a drawer, took out a small red booklet, and walked to Xiao Yi, handing it to him, "Mr. Xiao, this is the acceptance letter from Z University, but it's for the Mathematics Department."

After handing over the acceptance letter, Chen Jianguo hesitated for a moment, his face full of apology, "Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry. I personally went to the president of Z University and tried to arrange for you to be placed in the Business Administration or Enterprise Management departments. However, unfortunately, they have already over-enrolled this year, and it's impossible to fit you into those popular departments. So, they could only place you in a more specialized and difficult department like Mathematics. But don't worry, I've already spoken with the president. Next year, you can transfer to any department you want. And as for the exams and such, you can rest assured; I've taken care of everything."

Thinking about how he hadn't handled Xiao Yi's first request perfectly, Chen Jianguo's face couldn't help but turn slightly red. However, he really had no other choice. If it were a regular university, with his connections, he could have easily placed Xiao Yi in the best department. But Z University, one of the top universities in the country, was a different story. He couldn't push things too far. He had also inquired and found out that Z University's strongest departments, such as Business Administration and other popular ones, were indeed over-enrolled this year, making it impossible to fit Xiao Yi in, not because they were being dismissive.

Among the remaining departments, there were things like Physics, Chemistry, Archaeology, and Geology, which he didn't really understand. So, he chose Mathematics, which he knew a little bit about.

In fact, he was very puzzled as to why Xiao Yi suddenly wanted to attend Z University. With his status, he didn't need a degree. He could easily get any degree from any university in the world. But he also knew that Xiao Yi's affairs were not something he could interfere with. He just needed to do what Xiao Yi asked.

"Oh, it's fine. You don't need to worry about the school exams."

Xiao Yi waved his hand, completely unconcerned. He was going to Z University not to learn anything, and he didn't think he needed to be taught by Z University's teachers. So, the department didn't matter much to him. As for needing to arrange for exams? That was a joke. Could the current final exam papers possibly be difficult for him?

He also noticed the confusion in Chen Jianguo's eyes but couldn't answer his questions. In fact, he was also puzzled about why he was going to Z University. After returning from North Africa, the old man had simply left a message for him to go to Z University. The message didn't mention why he was going there or if he had any new missions. What made him even more frustrated was that after leaving the message, the old man disappeared, leaving him no chance to ask for clarification.

"Ah, okay."

Hearing that Xiao Yi wasn't blaming him, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, as if remembering something, he lowered his head and said, "Right, Mr. Xiao, I've also arranged your accommodation. It's at the Blue Water Shore near Z University, very close by. It's no more than a thirty-minute walk, and about ten minutes by car. Additionally, I've arranged a bed for you at the university if you need it."

"Here are the keys to the Blue Water Shore."

Chen Jianguo quickly turned, picked up a set of keys from the desk, and handed them to Xiao Yi.

"Hmm."

Xiao Yi nodded, took the keys, glanced at the label, and put them in his pocket without refusing Chen Jianguo's arrangement. He couldn't help but show a hint of approval and surprise. He hadn't thought about the accommodation, and this arrangement was undoubtedly the best. He couldn't live on campus, not because he found it too hard, but because he needed his own space for certain matters he didn't want others to know about.

Seeing that Xiao Yi seemed satisfied with his arrangements, Chen Jianguo breathed another sigh of relief.

"I'll be going now. If there's nothing else, try not to disturb me. I just want to have a few quiet days at the university this time, and I don't want anyone to bother me."

Xiao Yi waved his hand impatiently, stood up, and turned to walk towards the office door.

"Mr. Xiao, you're leaving already? How about this, it's almost mealtime. Why don't we have dinner first, and then I'll arrange for someone to take you to the university?"

Chen Jianguo was taken aback by how quickly Xiao Yi was leaving. He hesitated for a moment, then asked nervously.

"No need. You look busy, so just go about your business. I can handle my own affairs."

Xiao Yi waved his hand indifferently.

Chen Jianguo wanted to say more, but Xiao Yi had already walked out quickly. He hurried after him, intending to see him off, but when he reached the office door, he found that Xiao Yi had already disappeared into the elevator, which had already closed and started descending.

Looking at the red numbers on the elevator display, which were rapidly decreasing, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Mr. Xiao left in such a hurry, not even giving him a chance to see him off.

But thinking about the previous times he had met Xiao Yi, he felt a bit more at ease.

"Mr. Chen, who exactly is this Mr. Xiao?"

Liu Yuan, seeing Chen Jianguo staring at the elevator, couldn't contain his curiosity and asked. He had paused for a moment earlier, and by the time he reached the elevator, Chen Jianguo and Xiao Yi had already entered. Although they hadn't gone up yet, he didn't dare press the elevator button for Chen Jianguo, so he had to wait for them to go up before he and the others could take the elevator. When he finally arrived, the elevator door opened, and he saw Xiao Yi nod to him and walk in. Just as he was stunned, he saw Chen Jianguo rush out, staring at the elevator with a bitter smile.

"What's it to you? Just remember, treat him as you would treat me."

Chen Jianguo snapped out of his thoughts and said indifferently. At that moment, the respectful demeanor he had shown Xiao Yi was gone, replaced by the natural authority of a superior.

"Yes!"

Liu Yuan and the others were startled and quickly bowed their heads.

Chen Jianguo looked at their expressions, knowing they had taken his words to heart. He didn't say anything more and turned back to his office. He still needed to handle the sudden incident from this morning. After a few steps, he turned to Liu Yuan, "Old Liu, when you have time, go check on the house at Blue Water Shore and see if Mr. Xiao needs anything."

"Sure, should I go right now?"

Liu Yuan nodded quickly.

"No, go when you have time, around seven or eight in the evening. Remember, try not to disturb Mr. Xiao. Be quiet and low-key. Mr. Xiao doesn't like too much attention."

Chen Jianguo waved his hand and paused for a moment before continuing.

"Understood, I will!"

Liu Yuan replied respectfully.

After giving the instructions, Chen Jianguo turned and quickly walked back to his office. He picked up the documents from the morning, read through them, and rubbed his head in frustration, thinking about how to handle the situation.
